Welcome to LT coaching.
I am Lis Thowney, a mother of one and a step mum to two wonderful boys, the founder and owner of this beautiful space; where you as a Mumma, are the number 1 priority so that you can look after your number 1 priority, your beautiful children.
In 2012 I had the first dream to become a life coach. But I did not have the confidence and self-belief to make this dream a reality. Move forward to now and my reality is more than I ever dreamt of.
When I look back on my past, I cannot believe how far I have come, how much I have changed and how confident I am to stand up and say, yes, I can do this, I am not going to hide in a corner anymore.
During my childhood I had numerous experiences of bullying, isolation and confidence knocking. I also had some amazing experiences that got hidden, pushed to the back, along with my confidence as the “bad” experiences outweighed the “good”.
I joined the NHS in 2002, firstly working as a frontline paramedic, later I moved onto the 111 service and then the 999 control room environment. I have worked in various roles. I have managed staff and been managed. I have developed departments from a seed to incredible success and whilst on these journeys I have helped and supported my staff with their personal and career celebrations and adversities. This is somewhere I still work as I am not “ready” to part with that area of my life. This is ok! Just because your purpose and wants change, it is ok to still want to keep in touch with what was your purpose and want for so long.
In 2020 I was blessed with the most amazing Son a mother could ask for. After a long and emotional IVF journey, unfortunately the end of pregnancy and delivery was not then a smooth experience. Once I had settled my mind over what had happened, I realised that the life I had was not what I wanted anymore. This little bundle had changed me irrevocably. I no longer felt aligned to what I had spent most of my life doing so far. My purpose had completely changed. I knew this meant I needed to have a complete flip of all I knew career wise. Making this happen felt so aligned with my path, my destiny and my purpose.
Going through the IVF, the delivery and then the realisation that my son was now my driving force, my reason, my new purpose, my why, gave me a passion and a drive to help other Mothers who have realised now that their whole purpose, drive, goals, wants and even career choice in life have changed and do not know how to move this forward to fulfill that yearning in themselves. LT coaching was then born.
